In response to Michael:

It sounds as if what you are doing is just the right stuff for your kind of
group. So how to get the dnacers plugged in? I would suggest that you add
some exercises that involve moving to music, maybe just one exercise at each
session (3 min.?). Ask a different dancer each night to pick a piece of music
to work with, devise some simple movements that the whole group can go, and
teach/lead them at the warm-up. This will make them feel needed and important,
and will assist the whole group in acquiring a better kinesthetic connection
to music.
